It's a great exhibit.

A few locals stopped the Greenfield Ave bridge from being named in Kane's honor. To those ancient bags of shit. Fuck you.

Really? What’s the story behind that?

Not much to tell. Proposal was put forth and the usual anti everything types raised a fuss.

I didn't know that was proposed, he's buried in nearby Calvary Cemetery.

Not enough of us did. The meeting was 2pm on a Tuesday or something.

A real shame. The "Kane Bridge" sounds like Cambridge so it would have even sounded fancy.

I think I'll just start calling it the John Kane Bridge, since Greenfield Bridge is not even official.

>NOTE: The bridge’s real name is the “Beechwood Boulevard Bridge,” nicknamed the Greenfield Bridge. The “Beechwood Boulevard” name was carved in stone (below) on the original bridge. These stones will be installed on the new bridge before it opens.

Let's do it. The John Kane Bridge it is.
